I wanted to run zdb -C against the rpool. Eventually I found the -e flag which makes it work... I just found it odd that there was no cachefile configured by default.

I would not expose the management interface of Proxmox to the public internet. In theory it is "safe," or at least as safe as the root/admin passwords... but I still wouldn't do it. You want a VPN to manage things. If you want to host services on the VMs with Proxmox, that's a different...

My system is just a single node, running with a pair of SSDs in a ZFS mirror. It was setup as 100% ZFS using the Proxmox installer. I wanted to run zdb to check on some info about the pool (specifically I was curious about the ashift / block size setting). zdb comes back with this error...

This is my worry as well... the system isn't that old but I don't think it has any warranty left. Protectli is just buying white-label stuff from China and having their own name slapped on the side, for the most part. Unfortunately it's all current, I just did that before putting this into...

Hello all... I have an Intel 8th-gen i5 system (Protectli FW6D) running the current stable PVE. Linux 5.15.39-1-pve #1 SMP PVE 5.15.39-1 (Wed, 22 Jun 2022 17:22:00 +0200) It has two disks - M.2 SATA-based SSD (Kingston), and a separate 2.5" SATA SSD (Samsung 840 Pro). I have the two disks in a...

Protectli replaced my "FW6D" and the problem is solved, I have PVE installed on the new one with a ZFS mirror pool. :) Something was definitely wrong with the old machine. Comparatively, the new one has far fewer BIOS settings available, which tells me something really weird was going on with...

After a bunch more troubleshooting, I think it's a CPU problem, and more specifically, the integrated GPU (and possibly some of the more advanced math registers) in the i5-8250U that is in this system. The Ubuntu LiveUSB always dies/resets right when it is trying to fire up the graphical...

Oho! Ran memtest again, this time from the GRUB menu of the freshly installed system... and it threw an error, around 168.8MB. I'm re-running that test some more now to see if I can get more errors. Next step is to try yanking that stick of RAM and moving the other one to the same slot (and...

Just finished some more testing. Installed successfully to the SATA SSD using EXT4 (so I don't think it's anything with the SATA interface or that drive at this point). With ZFS raid0 single drive on the internal mSATA, same crash and instant reboot. :( Even worse, it seems like whenever I...

I did actually try it in debug mode, but I didn't realize it was printing more info to another tty so I didn't think to swap over there and try to catch it. The problem is that it bombs out and restarts, so unless I hold a phone and video the screen, I may not be able to note what it says when...

That focus/selection outline is not very clear, especially to people who are "differently-abled" in the vision department... or maybe have been up too late working and are bleary-eyed. A bit more contrast (and/or maybe a color) would make things much more friendly, light gray around light gray...

Proxmox gurus - subject says most of the problem. I have a Protectli "FW6D" unit (core i5 8250U, passively cooled with a massive heatsink case) that has two internal SSDs - one mSATA (it's not M.2, it's an actual mSATA module), and the other standard cabled SATA device. The mSATA is a Kingston...
